The great thing about Gatorade bottles is that after you use them it still

looks like Gatorade ;-) >>

There is an inherent and obvious risk to this.  My punk brother used to have
a crew of cretins who liked to party and chew snuff.  It worked well because
an empty bottle became a handy spitoon.  Except for one lone Miller drinker,
this group of hellraisers drank Budweiser.

One night I was allowed into this Inner Circle of snuff-sucking, Bud-quafing
ne'er-do-wells long enough to drink a few beers and swap a few lies.  Noticing
the growing pile of Bud empties/spitoons and only a few of the clear glass
Miller empties, I asked if the Miller outcast was too good to drink Bud.  After
a bunch of guffaws, I heard the story behind his singular taste.

It seems he awoke one morning to an apartment strewn with the trash from a
party the previous night.  He was hungover with a helluva set of hot pipes.  In
the morning darkness, as he stumbled through the living room he spied a half
full bottle of Bud perched on the corner of the coffee table.  He picked it up
and started to chug it down.  It took only a couple full bore gulps to
convince him to only drink from clear bottles in the future.
